Distance: 1350m. upstream
Conditions: Each crew rowed 2 x 1350m. followed by a a downstream 500m. sprint race. 1350m. races were rowed upstream against a strong head current. 38 degrees with a moderate to gusting tailwind going against the current causing a moderate chop (no whitecaps). This is the roughest we've seen it on this part of the Grand River this fall, go figure.
